Starview 3... 0 programs found GT Rom Super 8.02e

my mistake by saying aerial sorry m8, i have ordered a 3 way splitter earlier today no doubt i will need help when that arrives so i will give you a shout lol, cheers for the advice!

 

HI THANKS FOR YOUR HELP CHANNELS BACK AND MY WIFES HAPPY AS A PIG IN SH@T ALWAYS NEW SOMEONE HERE WOULD SEE ME STRAIGHT CHEERS ONCE AGAIN

 

Not a problem, but it is best practice to keep the subbed box in and on standby, not eco friendly I suppose!!!

 

Your welcome boromad, that is the main priority, keep the trouble and strife happy lol.

 

Wish somebody could help me to get mine up and running,because my wife and kids are not happy !

 

whats the problem Rarz ??

EDIT....
apologies Rarz just realised you were on yesterday tring to get sorted perhaps some of the lads might see something we have missed ..the head isnt with it this morning LOL
dont worry though you will get sorted!!

 

rarz, Have you installed the drivers from the link that Des gave you?
Once you install the drivers you should be up & running.

 

Have tried that but it is saying wizard cant find any new hardware,if
i do it from the drop down list what would the hardware be listed as? I am thinking that i may have a faulty null lead so have ordered another one,will try that if it doesnt work then i think i will have to give the box over to somone to fix it as they will know what they are doing,is there anyone on here within 20 miles of Coventry who would be willing to fix this for me while i watch what you are doing,there would be a bottle in it for you for christmas.

 

try a different lead and see how you get on, have a look here for the leads you need:

and as for dropping over to help fraid we are across the water in Dublin.so cant help there LOL

 

I think i have got the wrong cable it must be a straight rs232 cable where as i need the null crossover one dont i ? Anyway have ordered what i think is the right one now,will try it when i get it,as for being in Dublin i honestly didnt realise that but should have realised from all the Celts on here its like being on timsonline lol,im off up to paradise in the new year to see the bhoys pity we didnt take advantage yesterday with the orcs dropping points but i still think we will easily make it 4 in a row,hail hail !

 

yeah things are finally coming to rest and settling i can watch my football and she who cannot be named can watched her telly to her hearts delight

 

Hello rarz

I had lots of grief like this when I tried to do one. I have a really old pentium2 333mhz laptop with a "real" Com1 port on it (USB was very new when this laptop was made) anyhow I couldn't get any sort of download going using this lappy, tried two different leads, even tried a proper "straight" one, still no good.

In desperation, I disconnected and took the box across the room the the main PC in the house, put the file onto a USB memory stick, plugged it in and with just the lead in the mains it worked a treat, firmware went straight in. The old laptop just didn't want to play ball.

So my suggestion is either try another computer or take your box to a friends house with the firmware on memory stick and see if you can update with their PC.

Good luck.

 

maybe im wrong,or taking ;liberties,but are you sure your on ntl...if you've found no channels and it did indeed scan,may be you should try scanning on tw or c&w..let me know how it goes...

 

Hi all i got a new null cable and tried to flash the firmware for the box super again but it still keeps on saying flash update failed so can i ask some questions please before i get really pi**ed off with all this and i just give up on it all( bearing in mind that computer literacy is not one of my strongest points)
in the device manager on the com port button does that com port # have to match the com port # in the dowload box of the firmware ? if this is correct then this is what i have tried umpteen times from com 1 to 4 and it still wont work.
Drivers,i really dont understand what these are or what they do, could some kind person on here explain to a fool if this is causing me a problem when trying to download the firmware,i know earlier in the thread someone said update/download drivers,but i dont know how to do it,i really am at my wits end now with all this so any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks.
